A BIG BFD thank you to readers who have taken the time to subscribe to the BFD or to upgrade their subscription. We are getting bigger and stronger and faster with your support!

Your financial support means the world to us all here at the BFD as we work for you and your subscriptions make us feel that our efforts are valued. They also allow us to plan for the future as unlike advertising revenue monthly subscription revenue is stable and gives us certainty.

As you can see we are bigger stronger and faster already.

The BFD for non-subscribers will continue to be the place to be to discuss everything politics-related as well as a place to relax and have a few laughs with friends while catching up on the news.

You can contribute to our upkeep by viewing the ads or you can subscribe for only $10 a month to become ad-free and to also access all our puzzles when you log in.

If you use a browser that blocks ads or an ad-blocker you will need to switch it off or grab yourself a subscription to remove the ads as we need readers to contribute either by watching the ads or by subscribing.

We can exist and grow because of your subscriptions. Thank you for being such a crucial member of the BFD team.

We simply cannot continue to do it without your support.

Thank you.
